Google Analytics：使用自定义变量来跟踪不断增长的价值
我相信 Google Analytics 中的自定义变量只能用于跟踪该变量随时间变化的不同值的分布。
假设我有一个论坛并且想要跟踪该论坛中发布的帖子总数。我也可以使用 Google Analytics 跟踪它们吗？又如何呢？
I believe custom variables in Google Analytics can only be used to track the distribution of different values for that variable over time.
Suppose I have a forum and want to track the total number of posts made in that forum. Could I track them over time with Google Analytics, too? And how?

自定义变量是基于用户的维度。因此，传统上，他们不会衡量论坛帖子，而是识别在论坛上发帖的用户。这似乎不是你想要衡量的。
相反，您应该考虑查看事件跟踪。具体来说，它们允许跟踪 4 个独立的数据点（每次命中）：3 个字符串和一个整数值。
因此，您可以使用它来跟踪帖子发生的时间，或者这些帖子上发生评论的时间，然后使用 API 按您喜欢的任何维度聚合值。您只需要将事件与您想要跟踪的数据绑定到您想要的时间发生即可。
因此，为您提供一个示例事件调用，与某人在论坛主题上发表评论相关：
然后，您可以使用 API 查询特定视图，以将您想要聚合的事件的任何方面制成表格。您可以使用 Google Analytics API 查询浏览器模拟这些调用。在此示例中，您可以使用将维度设置为
ga:date、将指标设置为ga:totalEvents，然后将筛选字段设置为来获取每天的评论数>ga:eventAction==评论Custom Variables are a user-based dimension. So, traditionally, instead of measuring forum posts, they'd instead identify users who post on forums. That doesn't seem like what you're trying to measure.
Instead, you should consider looking at Event Tracking. Specifically, they allow for the tracking of 4 separate data points (per hit): 3 strings and a integer value.
So, you could use this to track when posts happen, or when comments happen on those posts, and then aggregate the values by whatever dimension you like using the API. You'd just need to bind the event to occur at the times you intend, with the data you want to track.
So, an example event call for you, tied to whenever someone posts a comment on a forum topic:
You could then use the API to query particular views to tabulate whatever aspect of the event you want to aggregate. You can simulate those calls with the Google Analytics API Query Explorer. In this example, you could get number of Comments per day using Dimension set to
ga:date, Metric set toga:totalEvents, and then set the filter field toga:eventAction==Comment
